High power 650V IGBT permits surface mounting

INFINEON TRENCHSTOP 5 IGBT family offers up to 40A 650V IGBT, co-packed with a full rated 40A diode in a surface mounting TO-263-3 also known as D2PAK. Firm’s technology allows higher power density in a smaller chip size, enabling designers to upgrade existing designs, to develop new platforms with up to 25% higher power output or to reduce the quantity of power devices used in parallel and thus allowing more compact designs. The co-packed 40A in D2PAK can be considered as an alternative to D3PAK or TO-247 used for surface mounting. This supports easy soldering, leading to fast and reliable assembly.
